OUR STORY

In the summer of 2015 our founder and CEO, Paha Schulz, decided to pursue his vision for a new kind of next generation gaming company, and Playsnak was officially born.

Tapping into over 15 years of insight from the front line of the games industry, Paha laid the foundations for the future of Playsnak by putting together a co-founding team with a wealth of experience in senior leadership roles. Playsnak’s innovative business model was then pitched to potential investors around the world, securing a start-up seed investment in the second half of 2016. A few months later, the Playsnak office opened its doors in Berlin, with the core team growing to include more industry experts who shared a passion for bringing the global mobile and VR games markets closer together.

Today, we’re looking forward to all that the future holds and are already pouring our passion for gaming into making the original vision for Playsnak a reality. If you love games, tech, and ambitious ideas, you might just fit right in! Check out our Jobs section to see our current vacancies – we’d love to hear from you.

AVAILABLE ON THE FOLLOWING PLATFORMS:

EC5 LASER SNIPER

AKA - "Bingo"

A high-precision rifle capable of destroying targets from long range. It’s used by the Evil Corp. eSniper Rev.3, a trio of eSnipers that work together to triangulate, subdue, and neutralize enemy combatants. The key to their tactical prowess is their new and improved single-mind communication system. Due to silent movement and laser targeting that triangulates enemy positions, they can take down any specific target on the battlefield with ease.

SUBMACHINE GUN

AKA - "The Rev"

A portable automatic firearm that is most effective at 25-50m. It’s the primary weapon of the Evil Corp. Infantry Rev.22 – their bread and butter in the fight against good. The “22” follows orders and engages the enemy no matter the consequences. Their tactical objective is to form a perimeter around enemies and create cover fire support for the Commando Class Units.

TESLA RIFLE

AKA - "Sparky"

An extremely powerful area-of-effect weapon that fires an electrical discharge that arcs between targets. It’s the signature gun of Herr Doctor Vom Fass, an incredibly smart and equally deranged mad scientist who is rumored to be over 90 years old. His efforts in genetic manipulation and cloning have been central to Evil Corp’s success of creating an army of meta-humans, thus disrupting world markets and monopolizing all industries relating to the waging of wars.

AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN

AKA - "Bob"

A smoothbore shoulder weapon for firing shots at short range. It’s the go-to gun of the Evil Corp. Commando Rev.38, which can be considered the Swiss Army knife of Evil Corp’s mercenary ranks. They come in a range of options with “Bob38” being a customer favorite. No wonder, looking at their ability to bob and weave through tight firefights and neutralize targets with powerful shotgun blasts.

PISTOL

AKA - "Ricky's Little Friend"

A small firearm that is most effective at close- to mid-range and designed to be held in one hand. Dual pistols are famously used by Richard “Ricky” Slade, once a regular kid – until his parents were brutally murdered in front of him at the age of 10 in a hit ordered by a local gangster. That day, something inside of Ricky changed forever and he vowed to bring the killer to justice. He trained for years on the mean streets of Hong Kong, mastering his abilities, until one day he was ready to take revenge and wipe out the murderer.

That was just the guy pulling the trigger though; the people behind the murder are still alive. And as long as that’s the case, Ricky will not rest. Today, Ricky is 16 years-old and, after countless hours of training, able to see the world and enemies in slow-motion, giving him the chance to adjust to whatever situation is around him. His filigree work in the underworld got him the name Bullet Symphony Conductor.

AYA NAKATOMI

History:

Not much is known about Aya except that she entered the WK program under mysterious circumstances. Rumor has it she was rescued from the Evil Corporation and has been fully rehabilitated by WK scientists. Unfortunately for Aya, there are emotional scars that haven’t quite healed. She is often seen at night wandering through the WK halls speaking in a thick Russian accent.

SKILLS:

Aya is psychologically fractured and suffers from amnesia, which is why she can be considered the most dangerous and unstable WK4 member. An acute lack of empathy makes her a loner, but she does function within the confines of the WK team to support them with her sharpshooting skills. While she often goes off plan, Aya never leaves the team hanging. Her physical presence resembles that of a cat. She moves quietly and stays in the shadows, only revealing herself when she wants to. She is extremely acrobatic, yet powerful, much like a ballerina. Under pressure circumstances, she is cold as ice and in her element – the definition of a cold-blooded assassin.

TEO PRINCE TE’A’HUPO

History:

Teo comes from a long line of quick-tempered tribal chiefs known for both their strength in battle and love of the people that they are in charge of. With a history that dates back to pre-colonial times, they’ve taken their sense of duty and pride to the Rugby field. Growing up, Teo always looked up to his older brother, the star of the country's Rugby team and the heir to be the next tribal chief. News of his brother’s disappearance, while at a test match in Malaysia, hit his family hard. Rumors of fixed matches and gambling debts owed to dangerous people forever tainted the reputation of his family’s name, sending his father to an early grave. Looking to repair his family's honor, Teo’s path has taken him to WK4 in search of his brother and the truth about what happened.

SKILLS:

Teo has always been a big, strong brawler type. From his time growing up in a bad neighborhood, he has always talked more with his fists than his words. Teo is quick to anger and often the first one to get into a brawl, no matter how big the other guy is. Due to his cultural background, Teo would die for his family and friends. He is an absolute team player and when the going gets tough, he turns to humor over tears and is often found laughing loudly about the situations he gets himself into. Being a big guy with abnormal strength, he is immediately the center of attention in any room he walks into. Teo is in peak physical form and can withstand brutal amounts of pain.

Flamer

AKA - "El Fuego"

A deadly device that sprays a burning stream of liquid and deals massive damage to nearby enemies. It’s the preferred weapon of Juan “El Fuego” Mariposa; once a hero of the national fire department of Spain and famous for saving over 1000 lives in a single year. Mariposa turned to a life of crime after government corruption led to the killing of his true love, taking on the persona “El Fuego” and setting fire to the central government offices before being neutralized and captured by Evil Corp. hired militia.
